Well, according to that google report you can expect to see a
significant rise in replacement rates, I'd wager.
Google's report is about commodity PATA / SATA drives.
Those EVAs have quality SCSI drives. They are far more rugged than
PATA/SATA and they are designed to work hard their entire life. (ie.
IIRC 20% duty cycle is the design goal for PATA/SATA, 100% duty-cycle
for SCSI)
There really is a reason that SCSI costs more in general, and HP uses
good SCSI drives on top of that.
